Cultural Tip

Italy has been improving train accessibility since the early 2000s, and most national rail operators (Trenitalia, Italo) now label cars with wheelchair‑friendly symbols. However, not every regional service is fully equipped, so it’s always good to verify in advance, especially on older regional lines.
